Sam Amico of FoxSportsOhio.com has a new notebook column covering several topics relating to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here are the highlights:

Although the Cavs are struggling, Amico believes that it is part of the process the team will have to go through to get better.

Amico cautions readers that, although rookie Dion Waiters has shown flashes, he will take time to mature and develop into a consistent NBA player.

Amico doesn't believe the Cavs would be smart to trade Anderson Varejao, citing his outstanding production this season and his importance to the team's stability following LeBron James' departure in 2010.

Alonzo Gee, re-signed to a three-year deal this summer, has been inconsistent this season, according to Amico.
